And I appreciate the restraint from both of you!!

Everyone knows I'm a big 25th supporter, but I'll describe my few issues here:

As was mentioned above, range of motion in some of the articulation is pretty bad, and I hate the wrist swivel in Duke's arms!! While not a fan of the chest joint, I do think they've gotten better at disguising it, so I don't dislike as much as I used to.

I guess my biggest complaint is issuing characters multiple times in color schemes I'm not interested in, then releasing them later on in colors that I like (after I bought the original with the assumption my preferred colors would never come out)!! I bought the first battle helmet Cobra Commander, then they later released a far more cartoon-accurate one in the ranking officers pack, so I got him again... and now they're releasing the best one yet in the final cartoon pack! Likewise for Wild Bill-- I wouldn't have bought the drab single-carded version if I'd known they'd be putting out a blue/orange cartoon version in a comic pack (though I'll get the comic pack anyway for Scrap-Iron).

I would complain that Hasbro is trying to make me spend $15 for Steeler's head since I have no interest in the Armadillo, Air Chariot, Serpentor, or Steeler's body... But I looked closely at that head in the store today, and it doesn't even look like Steeler!

So anyway, that's about it... My love of the 25th far, far, far outweighs any complaints I have!
